Black and white images, bass settings, subtitle follow up. Suddenly I heard the rain falling on the roof, like locusts, the rain hit the ground, like a drum, the rain slapped the giant pine, overturning the river and the sea. It rained continuously at night outside the house, and the heavy rain in front of me did not stop.

Suzaku Avenue, the gateway to Kyoto. Rashomon, torrential rain. A monk, a beggar, and a woodcutter. The woodcutter is suspicious, the beggar is curious, and the monk is Muna. Beggars tire of preaching, woodcutters hesitate, and monks question human nature. Witnesses, parties, and souls. Samurai, robber, beautiful woman. Warriors are fierce, robbers are rampant, and beautiful women cry. A said, B said, C said. You have judgment, I have personal experience, and he has evidence. Each speaks his own words, the more he describes it, the darker he gets, the truth is unknown, and his feelings are different. Hateful lies? Sad words? Despicable slander? Terrible?

Robber ha ha ha ha ha, I am a murderer.

Although he is a thief, he is also a brave warrior. The samurai he killed was virtuous, and he competed with him in a dignified manner. The samurai wife, the goddess in my heart, is just around the corner and can't ask for it. How can a beautiful woman lose herself in me and encourage her to kill her husband, how filthy!

The beautiful woman whimpered, I am a murderer.

When the robber beast was about to finish its diarrhoea, it turned around and ran away. Unexpectedly, her husband's eyes were cold and contemptuous. Unbearable, he started to kill, and wanted to commit suicide, but he could not die. I am a martyr, my fate is bitter! The samurai is ethereal, and I am the murderer.

Resurrection, the witch tells. His beautiful wife was ravaged by robbers, so unfaithful. A robber is a heinous crime, a warrior, I am proud of the world, atonement for my wife, and allow me to bear the debt! The woodcutter is secretive, and the robber is a murderer.

At the time of the crime, he was always present: since the beautiful woman had been acquired by the robber, the robber's prodigal son turned back and begged the beautiful woman to accompany her to be happy. The beautiful woman expects the two to duel, and the stronger one wins. Samurai Mingzhe saved himself, gave up the duel, and was willing to surrender his wife. Eventually the robber kills the samurai.

Emotional Book, Interest Chain, Vanity Fair, Zhenliefang. The truth is revealed by the woodcutter, and the light and shade of human nature reflect everyone. This is not the case, what is the truth? The thief shouts that it is impossible to say catching a thief, and it is impossible to say that a thief becomes a thief. The beggar's words are broken, you stole the beautiful woman's dagger? The dagger is inlaid with jewels, and the price is invaluable. The woodcutter holds it in his hand, and he denies it. The truth cannot be told.

Bermuda, the flower of evil. Loch Ness, monsters out. Noah's boat, the photo is there. Mummies, artificial hearts. Superconductor, normal temperature. Tomatoes, long cowhide. Star Wars, anti-nuclear attack. Thermodynamics, the law of extinction. Aliens, captured alive. Infrequent sound, twenty miles to kill. The water turns into oil, the car goes away—the lies fly all over the world. Xia Shang and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou are divided into two parts, is this the historical truth? Taking the lead in illegal business operations, the bear market turned bulls to increase confidence, is this the truth of the stock market? Yi Jianlian won glory for the country by playing football, and Huang Jianxiang wrote a blog and criticized it for being funny. Is this the truth of sports? Faye Wong and Li Yapeng are divorced, and Li Yuchun has millions of fans. Is this the truth of entertainment? Han Han rejected the Writers Association, and Guo Xiaosi wanted to join the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Is this the cultural truth?

In addition to the incident, the original author Akutagawa Ryunosuke said it, and the director Kurosawa Akira explained by "In the Shinobamboo Bush" and "Rashomon": the truth exists objectively, and the way of teaching depends on the subjective. The world is each other's listeners, and the world is on the sidelines.

The rain stopped, the sky was clear, the beggars ran, the woodcutter held the baby, and the monk felt at ease. Humanity returns, hope remains?

Rashomon quotes

  • Commoner: It's human to lie. Most of the time we can't even be honest with ourselves.

  • Priest: I don't want to hear it. No more horror stories.

    Commoner: They are common stories these days. I even heard that the demon living here in Rashômon fled in fear of the ferocity of man.
